6. Why do I see the message in Windows™ XP “This device can perform faster” when I plug-
in my flash drive?:
Answer:
You are connecting to a slower (USB 1.1) port or HUB. The Flash drive will work,
but the transfer speeds will be significantly slower.
It is also possible that the hardware drivers for the USB 2.0 capable adapter may
not be loaded correctly. Check with your system or adapter manufacture for
additional assistance.
